Sun Palace Cancun Newbie!!!

Just back from Cancun and wanted to follow up with you in regards to sun palace.

Sun Palace has the best beach by far!!! They have several small pools around the hotel and lots of chairs. They have very comfy beach beds on the ocean that were awesome! You were suppossed to be on the concierege floor to use them, but we were VIPs with the black bracelets and no one said anything to us! Sun Palace was an older crowd! We are mid 30's and found that Beach Palace had the best atmosphere and night life! Cancun Palace had an older crowd too!!! If I could change it, I would have stayed at Beach palace and got married at Beach palace. I thought that Cancun Palace would be the better option since it was larger. Several of our guests stayed at Beach palace, so we hung out at that hotel too. The bus is 7.5 pesos and very easy to use.

Have fun planning your wedding! Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm from Tx and we have booked our wedding at the Sun Palace resort in Cancun!!

YAY!!! We've stayed at the Sun Palace before and loved it. We are having about 40 people come down with us, most of them being parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.... so the older crowd will probably work out well for us. We are leaving the Sun and checking into the Leblanc for our honeymoon.... Hopefully that will be more of a lively atmosphere...I CAN'T WAIT!!! SOOO tell me all about the wedding!! You are lucky that you were able to get last years package, the package we are going with is 2300! Ok so here are my questions for ya

Did you use the resort's photographer? If so how were they?

What did you do for your reception? I have no idea what we are going to do for one

What would you do/not do if you had to do it over again?

THANKS!!!!

Glad you could make it!!! This is a great forum with a lot of resources, it's been a life saver for me, and I'm even one of the few guys you'll find on here!

Have you found a photographer yet? If not, PM me and I'll recommend you to a great Cancun based photographer. She did my wedding and I can tell you the experience and the photos we received in the end were a real treat! She does awesome work and she's very creative.

Thanks

I think we are going to use the photographer included in the package.... don't think we have much room in the budget to add an outside photog ...

Congrats! My FI and I stayed there back in 2007 and LOVED it!!! The food is great, the service is wonderful, and the views from all of the rooms are oceanfront and beautiful!! Your wedding will be so amazing! We thought about booking the wedding there, but we have some non-couples coming so we could not do it.

WE WERE SO BLESSED TO HAVE A PERFECT WEDDING WEEKEND FROM START TO FINISH!
